Chapter 211: The Real Rules Revealed

He had previously been unable to understand why the Red Moon usually hangs in the sky; although its color is somewhat strange, it does not make people feel uncomfortable.

How come all of a sudden, not only did Maggot Human Bone appear, but an Illusion Realm was created and pulled him in as well.

Now he finally understands!

It turns out that on Red Moon Night, the spatial barrier thins, allowing the Red Moon's power to surge.

So, aside from the period before and after Red Moon Night, the Red Moon should cause him little harm at other times.

At least he can reluctantly breathe a sigh of relief!

He just doesn't know how often this Red Moon Night occurs.

If the interval is longer, then she could also get more development time.

Though he doesn't know whether the Red Moon has consciousness, it's clear the Red Moon has certainly set its eyes on him.

Otherwise, the Maggot Human Bone derived from Red Moon's power wouldn't keep coming back to trouble him repeatedly.

Since there's no way to avoid it, he can only meet each move with a counter!

So he asked, "How often does Red Moon Night appear? And this time, how many Other Races entered the Initial Domain?"

The Night Goose Tribe Leader didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly answered:

"Red Moon Night appears once every month, lasting three days each time. Every Red Moon Night, many K-type creatures are derived, so the wilderness during this period is extremely dangerous."

"As for how many Other Races entered this Red Moon Night, I really don't know, but I estimate it's not few, because entering the Initial Domain grants many precious items, and many Other Races cannot resist such temptation."

"Therefore I estimate the number of Other Races entering is not few; this time, your new Survivors in the Initial Domain will suffer considerable losses."

Lin Yifan furrowed his brows tightly, puzzled, and said:

"Isn't the area you occupy a higher-level region than the Initial Domain?"

"If higher-level regions have higher-quality resources, why do you covet the Initial Domain's goods?"

"Ah! Things aren't that simple." The Night Moth Tribe Leader gave a wry smile and said helplessly:

"Although the Initial Domain also presents many survival crises, they're just various natural disasters, and before each disaster, the will of the Survival Ring gives some hint."

"So as long as you prepare according to the hints, you can basically get through the disaster safely and even earn generous rewards from the disaster missions, allowing one to become stronger in the shortest time."

"But domains beyond the Initial Domain are different. Although nominally our region is higher-level than the Initial Domain, in reality the crises we face are even more terrifying: not only higher-level natural disasters, but also countless Maggot Human Bones."

"You may not know Maggot Human Bone; this thing is derived from Red Moon's power, endlessly proliferating, appearing everywhere, threatening our living place at all times."

"Regarding resources, the wilderness does have plenty, but the problem is we can't easily enter it; the wilderness is now the realm of Maggot Human Bones, and to go out you need a strong party."

"Those powerful clans are fine; they have many strong members and can organize parties to the wilderness for resources. But the weaker races, not only are few in number, their strong members are even fewer, lacking the ability to form independent parties, thus finding it hard to obtain resources."

"Our Night Moth Tribe, although ranking eighth in level, is not strong; we have only a handful of experts. Every expedition to the wilderness almost always requires experts to go in and out, and even then casualties are heavy, so the resources we obtain can only go to the gifted members."

"Ordinary tribe members with average talent can only get the most basic low-grade resources—just enough to survive. Getting stronger is impossible. Coming to the Initial Domain to hunt treasure is a once-in-a-thousand-years chance for us, so anyone who enters the Initial Domain will scrape for loot at all costs."

Lin Yifan's face grew solemn; he had previously thought

that Red Moon Night, though dangerous, only comes once a month, and as long as one is careful, it shouldn't be a big problem.

But after hearing the Night Moth Tribe Leader's words, he realized the situation was far more complex than he imagined.

It turns out that beyond the Initial Domain, other regions' survival environment is indeed this harsh, with even more terrifying natural disasters and ubiquitous Maggot Human Bones.

No wonder these Other Races would risk everything to break into the Initial Domain; after all, for them, it's a place rich in resources and relatively low danger—if they can return alive, they gain huge profit, essentially a heaven.

But for those of the Initial Domain, it's a disaster of annihilation!

Clearly, these Other Races don't care about Human lives; to obtain resources they will inevitably seek Survivors' Shelter and then kill and loot.

And these wills of the dead must be extraordinary; Lin Yifan can easily slay these Night Moth Tribe members, but that's because those guys are weak.

But what about stronger Other Races?

Could he handle them?

As for the other Survivors, those who manage to stay alive are already fortunate; even after these disaster missions, they have received some rewards, advancing their Life Tier a bit.

Yet the progress they can make is limited; dealing with these strong Other Races is likely as hard as scaling heaven.

After all, they're all Human compatriots; even if many are scums, they're still compatriots—can we just watch them await death with our eyes open?

Even Lin Yifan, though iron‑hearted, would feel a pang of rabbit‑dead‑fox‑sorrow.

So he quickly opened the chat channel and sent a message:

"Attention everyone, in the next few days many Other Races will enter our Initial Domain. They come for resources, they're ruthless and powerful; encountering them is almost certainly fatal. Even hiding in a Shelter offers little safety, so you must prepare to save your life."

He also pinned this message to the top; as Region No. 1 Person, he has the right to pin messages in the chat channel.

However, he never pins unimportant messages.

And once his message went out, the chat channel instantly exploded!

Su Zhihui: "What what? What are Other Races? Could there be other races in this world?"

Yu Luo Qing Shan: "There should be other races in this world; in a Treasure Chest I found earlier, I got a thing called 'Goat Tribe Summoning Talisman', I was curious and used it, and it summoned a person with a goat head, and even gave me a cashmere coat!"

Langhua Yiduo Duo: "Then, if that's the case, these Other Races aren't bad people either? They even give us gifts, they're basically angels! Why worry about them?"

Wo Shi Ou Huang: "I say, Langhua Yiduo Duo, are you stupid? Haven't you heard the saying 'hearts'? You think Other Races are good people, good people get something, Lin Yifan big brother even said so, so there must be a reason."

Wo Cai Shi Ou Huang: "First, I declare that I am the real Ou Huang, not the one upstairs! But I agree with the upstairs's words: Big brother Lin Yifan never gives baseless advice; he actually warned us, so those Other Races must indeed have problems; everyone should be more cautious, lest they die in an inexplicable way!"

……

Lin Yifan also skimmed through everyone's comments, thought for a moment, then posted another message:

"There may be good people among the Other Races, but the ones that came this time are basically raiders. I've already encountered a group of raiders; they're fairly strong and extremely ferocious. Everyone must be careful!"

And below Lin Yifan, Su Xiao xi also posted a line:

Sexy Little Wildcat: "Brother Yifan's words are true; I also met an Other Race. If it weren't for someone rescuing me, I'd be dead now. Everyone must, must be careful; don't gamble with your own life!"

Su Xiao xi was indeed clever; although her remark proved Lin Yifan's words, it didn't expose any information between them.

And Su Xiao xi's "Sexy Little Wildcat" alias is quite famous.

As soon as she spoke, many people immediately echoed:

Handsome Big Tiger: "Since Wild Cat Sister says there are other races, everyone should be careful! Wild Cat Sister never lies."

Boss Coarse: "Exactly, whatever Wild Cat Sister says is never a single false word, so everyone should listen to Wild Cat Sister!"

Red Iris: "Everyone be careful! There really are other races. I just heard some movement outside the Shelter, so I sneaked a look, and indeed a few oddly shaped people were outside. I couldn't understand what they said, but they were clearly hostile. Oh no, they're pounding on the door…"

The next second, Red Iris's avatar dimmed.

What does a dimmed avatar mean?

All the Survivors present know!

They're offline!

In just that moment, a life was lost!

This made everyone involuntarily gasp a cold breath.

And in the chat channel, messages also stalled.

After Red Iris's message, there was a long silence with no one speaking.

Lin Yifan saw this and couldn't help falling into silence; although he had anticipated it, his mood remained heavy.

After taking a deep breath, he sent another message:

"In this world, lives are as common as weeds; everyone should quickly make preparations! Being able to survive is always good."

He didn't know what to say to comfort everyone; when lives are at stake, he truly couldn't utter a single lighthearted word!

So he grew tired of watching the chat, turned his head to the Night Moth Tribe at his feet, and asked in a deep voice:

"How many of you Night Moth Tribe came this time? Where are you distributed?"

The Night Moth Tribe leader hesitated, then answered honestly:

"We sent a total of thirty members, divided into six squads, each exploring different Districts. Our squad is responsible for the east, and the other squads went to other Districts."

"Thirty people…" Lin Yifan squinted, "Is their strength about the same as yours?"

"No, our squad is the weakest; the other two squads are led by internal experts, especially the northern squad, whose leader is the clan chief's younger brother, much stronger than me." The Night Moth Tribe leader said cautiously.

Lin Yifan felt something stir in his heart.

It seems the Night Moth Tribe takes this operation seriously, even the chief's younger brother was deployed.

If other other races are similar, then among the other races entering the Initial Domain this time, there may be many strong ones.

"Besides your Night Moth Tribe, which other other races have entered? Tell me everything you know." Lin Yifan continued.

The Night Moth Tribe leader shook his head: "I really don't know much; each race has its own plan, and we don't share information with each other."

"However… the races that came this time are probably all raiding races, so strong clans like the Shadow Wolf Tribe and the Blood Vine Tribe certainly won't miss this chance."

Shadow Wolf Tribe? Blood Vine Tribe?

Lin Yifan silently noted the two names, then asked:

"After you entered, is there any way to communicate with each other? Like messaging devices or something?"

"There are, but the Initial Domain suppresses high‑level communication devices; the effect is poor, and a little distance makes contact impossible." The Night Moth Tribe leader answered honestly:

"Moreover, whether we communicate or not doesn't matter; the Survivors in the Initial Domain are all newcomers, weak in strength, and with our abilities there is no danger."

"So most people move freely in squads; when the time comes, we will all be automatically teleported out."

Lin Yifan nodded; that was good news.

If the other races cannot communicate effectively, they cannot mass‑gather, and the pressure on the Survivors will be much less.

"One final question." Lin Yifan stared at the Night Moth Tribe leader's eyes and asked slowly:

"Besides the Initial Domain, how many Districts does this world actually have?"

"Nobody knows!" the Night Moth Tribe leader shook his head. "Each of our races, because of the Maggot Human Bone, curl up in their own Districts."

"Some races are powerful enough to occupy several Districts; weaker ones have only one, even half a District, and we can only contact the nearby few Districts."

"Farther Districts we cannot reach or contact, so our information is very closed; we only know there are countless Districts and countless races in this world, but exactly how many Districts? How many races? No one knows."

"And the Initial Domain?" Lin Yifan frowned. "How many are there in the Initial Domain?"

"The Initial Domain is special; its existence is time‑limited." the Night Moth Tribe leader replied.

"Each time new Survivors enter this world, a new Initial Domain is generated for the First Round of elimination; when the remaining Survivors all reach the Transcendent Life Tier, that batch will leave the Initial Domain and enter other realms."

"At that moment, the Initial Domain disappears, and only reappears when the next batch of Survivors arrives!"

Good fellows!

This Initial Domain really is a Newbie Village!

Lin Yifan had long anticipated this, but now that it is confirmed, he couldn't help sighing.
